squeak-

2001 came out in (I think) 1968 – I’m no spring chicken (maybe The Chicken In Winter?)

It’s amusing to see that many (most?) posters here are literally about half my age, some even less.

If you’re older than me, please accept my apology for “chepering” you with an age joke on a different thread – no offense was intended, but that would’ve been inappropriate.

If “All Summer in a Day” is the short about a planet that rains constantly (Venus, before people knew how hot and full of CO2 it really is), I remember that story well. It was a haunting morality tale of the irreversible harm that can be done to someone else due to a thoughtless prank.

One poem review I forgor earlier:

O Captain! My Captain! by Walt Whitman – more schmaltz than a barrel of herring.
